Unique opportunity!

We had an amazing time staying at the water tower for two nights! Such a quaint quiet neighborhood. The location was great for us to venture to Belgium one day and up to Cologne on the second. So many details to list - fresh eggs from the chickens who live on the property, a stunning garden and the most pleasant hosts.

Magic

Our trip took us to Germany to visit the Christmas Markets and the tower was the perfect place to adventure out to all the different villages. We arrived late in the evening and found fresh eggs, bread, milk, pasta etc left for us in the kitchen. It was a lifesaver in the morning. It was super clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's hard to put into words how incredible our stay was at the tower. It us such a unique property...it feels like you stepped into a fairy tale!10/10 recommend.

A perfect outer city stay!

The hosts clearly care about their guests. Their property is lovely and attention to every detail is made for their guests comfort. Our family of 4 were thrilled with the water tower as a living space. It is so unique and fun. It was very nicely decorated and comfortable with ‘little extras’ provided to leave guests want for nothing. Roger and Claus went above and beyond. Such friendly and hospitable hosts. The property is located in a very quiet suburban neighbourhood. The nearest towns are easy to access and have all you need for shopping needs. In these towns you can catch trains into Cologne. Very convenient. We highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet, unique, and lovingly cared for accommodation, to stay at the Water Tower house. It is not an ideal place for anyone with mobility issues due to the number of stairs, but everyone else will enjoy it immensely. Thank you Roger and Claus. We’d love to come back.

Steiler Aufenthalt

Unser Aufenthalt im Wasserturm war gigantisch. Die Vermieter waren super sympathisch und die Wohnung war sehr sauber und richtig gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten noch nie eine so gute Austattung an Lebensmitteln, Badutensilien und sonstigem. Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt und wir würden sehr gerne wieder kommen, wenn wir in der Nähe sind.

Perfect weekend

We had a perfect stay at the Water tower. We went to Phantasialand, which is a 15 min drive from the location. The house was in perfect condition, clean and everything was taken care of, from towels, beds and even food and drinks. Thank you to the owners!

Außergewöhnlich schöne Unterkunft

Der umgebaute Wasserturm hat uns vom ersten Augenblickt fasziniert. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Die Ausstattung ist hochwertig und mit Liebe zum Detail ausgewählt. Die Vermieter sind superfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Ort Rösberg selber bietet keinerlei Einkaufs- oder Freizeitmöglichkeiten, aber man kann alles gut erreichen, sogar mit dem ÖPNV. Wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen!

Sommerurlaub...

...in einem super angenehmen nicht ganz gewöhnlichen Ferienwohnung. Diese ist für den Urlaub von bis zu sechs Personen gut geeignet. Für die ersten Tag war auch schon für Essen und Trinken gesorgt. Selbst die hauseigenen Hühner hatten dafür ihr Bestes gegeben. Die absolute Weiterempfehlung!

A lot of stairs in a rural setting

This property is on four storeys with stairs between each and not within walking distance of any shops or cafes. If that's going to be a problem for you I'd not recommend this property. For us it was perfect. We were travelling by car and the property was perfectly located mid way between Cologne and Bonn. It was an easy drive to both cities. The house itself is beautifully fitted out and was more than comfortable for our family of two parents and three kids.

The property is just stunning, inside and out. Everything you could possibly need is thought about by the wonderful hosts. They provided some food essentials including vegan options which was perfect as my husband is Vegan. The rooms are well equipped, clean and decorated so beautifully. We had a wonderful time. 😀
